A former 'Bachelorette' says her new holiday tradition involves taking a photo of her kid surrounded by wrapped presents and then giving half away

Former "Bachelorette" Ali Fedotowsky and husband Kevin Manno started a new holiday tradition after their daughter Molly was born.

They wrap presents, surround Molly with the gifts, and take photos.

But the gifts don't all go to Molly.

About half of them are donated to families in need during the holiday season.

Fedotowsky told INSIDER she hopes it teaches her kids values.

Former "Bachelorette" Ali Fedotowsky is starting her own family traditions.

The 33-year-old told INSIDER that she and husband Kevin Manno formed a new holiday custom after the birth of their daughter Molly.

"I'm obsessed with photography, so we love wrapping a lot of presents, placing Molly in the middle of them, and taking a cute photo of Molly surrounded by all the presents," she said while promoting the Chase Marriot Rewards Premier Credit Card.

But Molly, who turned one in July, doesn't necessarily need all those presents, Fedotowsky said, so she decided not to keep all of the gifts they wrap.

"So what we do is get a bunch of gifts and wrap them, as well as boxes, because let's face it, she's a toddler and sometimes a box is the only thing she needs," she said. "We put them under the tree, take photos of her... and then what we'll do then is take half, or if not more, of those gifts and donate them to families in need."

As Molly gets older, Fedotowsky said she'll learn how their family tradition helps others.

"Next year, when she understands it more, I'm going to give her the option of choosing which presents she wants to keep," she said. "She won't know what's in them. And obviously maybe I'll have a few on the side that I specifically got for her, but I'll say like, 'Out of these 10 gifts, pick a few, but the rest have to go to boys and girls out there whose mommies and daddies can't get them gifts.' I hope that that's something that teaches her good values over the years."

Fedotowsky also said she plans on continuing the tradition with their second child, who is due in May 2018.
